AIbor Day owes its origin to ex-Goy. ].
Sterling Morton of Nebraska. About fifteen
years ago he suggested to the governor Of
that State, then Territory, the issuing of a
proclamation setting apart day to be OBJ
served by the people by planting trees and
shrubs. The idea took, and on the day thus
designated it is said twelve millions of trees
were planted. The next year 1t was made .
legal holiday, and provision was made for
awarding premiums to those who planted
the most trees In its observance. The GUS
tom thus inaugurated has produced won

Postofice Inspector Chase has recon-
mended thatan additional male clerk be APP
pointed in the Bangor postofice, and that
the registry clerk have female assistant.
There is no doubt but this additional force is
needed. But these recommendations Of the
inspector do not tally very well with recon-
mendations that this same inspector made
last year by which the amount paid for cleri-
cal help at this postofice was cut down
$3.50. The Bangor Wing says the injustice
of this reduction was persistently urged
upon the department at Washington by
Representative Boutelle and the Maine SEN
ators. but no attention was paid to it. Now
upon the advent of Democratic postmaster
1t is discovered that the office needs more
clerks and of course more money. 1t may,
OF course, be due to mere accident that this
discovery follows SO quickly after the Dem
ocratic postmaster was installed, but it looks
very much as If there was some connection
between the two-something like cause and
effect

The confidence with which the Canadians
continue to insist that the President does not
mean to enforce the Retaliation law does
not, on the whole, seem much more marked
than their disinclination to hurry the work

SENATOR STANFORD.
The California Phiianthr0pist
Passes Through Ogden.

On Saturday evening Senator Leland
Stanford reached Ogden on his way to
California. The Senator occupied his
special car, and during the interval be
tween the arrival of the Union Pacific
train and the departure OF the Central
Pacific he spent most of his time IN
looking around the depot, and
in viewing the foundation for the
new structure which is shortly
to be erected. Mr.. Stanford ex-
pressed himself as pleased with the
preparations made. and gave it as his
opinion that the structure should have
been built long ago. The land was
given to the railroad by President
Brigham Young, with the express un-
derstahding that suitable buildings
should be erected on it. 1t is evident
that the influence of Senator Stanford
will be used directly for the benefit OF
Ogden in this matter. Senator Stan
ford, of course, spent much of the time
with Mr.. A. &. Fell, and as both are
devoted horse fanciers, the CONVEX
i ton was principally on this sub
ject. Mr.. Stanford talked freely
unon some of his recent sales of fine
stock. One animal IN particular he has
recently been offered $50, goo for. There
we're some sales which, he said he re-.
gretted having made, while with otheIs
he was perfectly satisfied.
Beyond his statement in regard to the
depot, however, Mr.. Stanford said very
little else during his brief stay here,
that is of interest to Ogden people. 1t
is gratifying, however, to know that he
vie VS. this matter, as stated above. His
opinions are assuring and will be en-.
couraging to the public Ogden Herald
